Initial Application

We Assist Clients Applying for Social Security Disability Benefits

Our New York disability law firm helps clients get their application right the first time

If you are expected to be out of work for no less than 12 consecutive months, have paid the threshold amount of required Social Security taxes (also known as FICA taxes) and have been declared unable to work by a doctor, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits. Claimants are generally eligible to apply as soon as they stop working or their earnings drop below a statutory limit. Filing for SSD benefits is demanding and it is important to compile all relevant documents and evidence to submit as supporting documentation. It can take months until a decision is made and it is common to be denied on the initial application, leading to appeals. The disability attorneys at Severance, Burko, Spalter & Masone, PC, are available to assist you with application preparation and help you file as soon as possible to minimize lengthy waiting times.
